How the cloud can save you money and time, and boost your productivity

Are you still storing and handling property and customer data at your office? Why?
You outsource your financial services to a bank, so why stop there? Recent innovations in technology have reduced the cost of IT services and caused leaps and bounds in productivity.
Gsuite is a suite of cloud-based applications, email, and data storage solutions. If we didn’t know better, we’d say it was conceived of specifically for real estate agents!
How the cloud can benefit you
On the move? Not a problem. All of your data is easily accessible from any mobile device. Android, iOS, Blackberry, Mac, Windows, Linux – you name it.
Keeping in touch with customers and colleagues has never been easier. With Gmail, you get 20GB + of storage space. And since there’s no need to delete an email, you can build up an archive of all your business correspondence.
Use Gmail to build a robust brand name with a custom email address: yourname@companyname.com.
You can overlay multiple shared calendars at the same time, letting you quickly find times for company meetings that don’t conflict with anyone’s scheduled viewings. Events also have customizable privacy settings.
Google Photos automatically uploads photos of properties from your smartphone to the cloud, even as you’re on the move. Share newly listed properties with one click!
Collaborate with colleagues on documents and presentations in real-time. No more pesky attachments with conflicting versions of documents.
Free voice and video chat services with unlimited participants in the conference.
Google’s cloud services are secure. The connection between your computers or mobile devices and Google’s servers are encrypted to the same standards as online banking websites.
With Google Drive, your data is always backed up. A hardware failure is no longer a concern as all of your information is synchronised and backed up in real time. Hop on another computer and access all your data. No more downtime or expensive data recovery costs.
Take it a step further and keep all your company videos on a Youtube channel. Privacy settings allow you to choose who you share with, so you can have both public marketing videos and internal company videos all in one easily accessible place.
So how much will this cost me?
After initial setup, just £33 per user per year.
(Setup fees depend on some users that need to be configured.)
What if it doesn’t work out for me?
Not an issue! TCP123 offers a trial period to test out the features during which you can continue to use your existing software suites, such as Microsoft Office and Outlook. You can then decide on whichever alternative works better for you!
